            Apparel FAQ

            Common Questions from Apparel Buyers

            What is the minimum order quantity for knit garments?

            Typically 500–1,000 pieces per style per colour for blank/basic garments. Custom styles with unique prints or embroidery: 1,000–1,500 pieces per design. Some factories accept lower MOQs for established buyers.

            Can you source organic or sustainable fabrics?

            Yes. GOTS-certified organic cotton, BCI cotton, and recycled polyester blends. Some Pakistani mills hold GOTS certification. Please specify sustainability requirements when requesting a quote.

            Do you support tech pack development?

            We can work from a tech pack you provide, or assist in developing a basic spec sheet from a reference garment. For complex technical garments, your own tech pack is preferred for accuracy.

            What printing and embellishment options are available?

            Screen printing, DTF printing, embroidery, sublimation, heat transfer, and woven labels. Embroidery is particularly strong in Pakistan.

            What certifications do Pakistani factories hold?

            Many export factories hold WRAP, SA8000, ISO 9001, BSCI, or SEDEX. OEKO-TEX certified fabric is available. We can filter suppliers by the certification your retailer requires.
